Additional Likes and Dislikes (Important Note: your artist or author is not required to take these additional preferences about setting, era, tone, etc. into account, but it might help them come up with ideas, so include as many as you like. This is not the space for hard and fast triggers or squicks; those should be placed in the list of elements that you are unwilling to receive above.) Characters/Pairings Severus Snape is my favourite character (to both read and write) and I will be eternally happy if he is one side of a pairing. I especially adore Aberforth/Snape, Filch/Snape, Kettleburn/Snape, and Ollivander/Snape, but anything is fine. Aberforth/Filch is another love of mine, as is Krum/Aberforth and Krum/Harry Potter. In terms of femslash, Muriel/August is a favourite. But really, any pairing I receive is wonderful! :D
If you choose to write Snape (*crosses fingers*), I adore ambiguous, disillusioned, guarded, and/or damaged Snape. I adore Aberforth in all his bitter, grumpy glory and an uncannily perceptive Filch.
As you can tell from my favourite pairings, cross-gen is fine. However, I don't like next-gen characters as much (or Remus Lupin, to be honest).
Era/Setting I particularly enjoy fics set during the First Voldemort War or during OotP and beyond era. In general, I don't like anything to do with Horcruxes or DH. In fact, I prefer to ignore DH if at all possible, though DH with EWE is fine.
I don't much care for non-magic AUs.
Tone I adore angst and ambiguity almost as much as I adore Snape. I like wartime fics that focus on the emotional fallout war causes. Bittersweet endings are fine, but I prefer no character death.
I do not like fluff and happiness (although flangst is perfectly acceptable). I do not like flat-out humour.
Miscellany I like missing moments and/or created moments (the former being things that obviously happened according to JK but were not shown, the latter being things that could have happened but we don't know about [such as during the First War]) and I favour plot over porn (although plot with porn is perfectly fine). Any rating is perfectly acceptable. G is just as good as NC-17. It's all about the emotions for me. Emotions > sex.
Overall, just look at the characters on my list and go with your gut. Ignore this section if nothing screams *write/draw me!*
